Msi rtx 2080 ti ligthning z 10th anniversary: ​​top of the range gpu

We already knew the MSI RTX 2080 Ti LIGTHNING Z, the most powerful graphics card of its kind and with greater overclocking capacity. So in commemoration of its 10 years assembling graphics cards we have this exclusive version, let's see what it brings.

TRI-FROZR heatsink, OLED display and unmatched performance

That's right, the MSI RTX 2080 Ti LIGTHNING Z 10TH Anniversary is a variant of this model whose main difference is in the external design, since they can do little to the super vitamin GPU from which we started.

We can see a huge TRI-FROZR heatsink of about 330 mm long and occupying 3 expansion slots that leaves the three TORX 3.0 fans with double ball bearings visible to ensure top cooling performance. The central one is smaller and without lighting, while the exteriors do have RGB. The novelty lies in the fact that now the aluminum trims maintain the natural color of the metal and simulate carbon mesh. An OLED screen similar to that of motherboards, for example the X570 Godlike, is also included to monitor the parameters of the GPU in real time.

The rear backplate is made of carbon, just like the base version, with a huge heatsink composed of two finned aluminum blocks joined by 8 nickel-plated copper heatpipes that ensure that overclocking capacity, which by the way, they have not commented until The frequency has arrived, but we imagine that the +120 MHz in chipset and +1000 MHz in GDDR6 should not be a problem.

They don't tell us anything about their internal specifications, but they are surely the same as the base version: a GPU frequency in boost mode of 1770 MHz, more than for example the Gaming Trio version that comes just behind. Inside we have the TU102 chipset with 4352 CUDA Cores, 544 Tensor and 68 RT along with 11 GB of GDDR6 memory working at 14 Gbps. Its power system consists of 3 8-pin connectors, raising the TDP to 350W and much more in overclocking mode.

Since we could not access the LIGTHNING Z model, we hope that we can do it with this MSI RTX 2080 Ti LIGTHNING Z 10TH Anniversary. In any case, it is not a card for everyone, that is clear, since if we start from the 1500 euros that the Z model is worth, it will surely exceed this figure.
